He's probably been guilty of being a little selfish while plowing his trade as a NHL goal scorer so far. I think with the right partners though his giving game will see new heights.

As Babcock said earlier this year, "the comfort in himself and his ability to share himself with his teammates [...] has gotten better and better as time has gone on, which you would expect from a young man."

Probably best we quit while we were (sorta) ahead.

On the Staff and Graph podcast recently, Rachel Doerrie shared her experiences at training camps while working with TOR and NJD.
Coaches don't really start to instill structure and game plans until the camp roster is cut down to basically the final team + positional battles, hence the sloppy game play for the first 4-6 preseason games (and into October really).

From the little bit that I saw, he looked like he had a lot more jump to his game last night.

Come on...
edit: Kristen added that it's Lindgren on defence there, not Liljegren.

And it's just setting Spezza up to fail there, no way you can have him and Goat on the same line. Too slow. Very curious to see how this ends up playing out.

I can see the logic behind wanting to try this in the preseason.
Gauthier looked faster (again). His stride has lost a lot of excess movement and that added efficiency is compounded by how long he is. I still think he has next to no offensive instincts but he is super solid defensively, which would ease the load on Spezza and just let him try to bank something in off Moore?s rear. Spezza covers Gauthier?s faceoff weakness too.
But Agostino - Spezza - Shore is also tangibly better, especially with Moore mixed on the wings.

Is messing with Gauthier really a waste of time? If we don?t want him anymore, isn?t it worthwhile to give him more eyeball time and key up a better trade? Or a better opportunity to get scooped on waivers because he?s been a good soldier for Dubas and deserves a chance to play somewhere?

Condon 2.4M. Not happening. You'd have to trade one of Kappy/Mango/Kerfoot to fit him in.
Domingue 1.15M. I believe his 450k more than Hutch would mean only carrying 18 skaters once Hyman returns (I don't think even the cheapest 19 salaries would fit) (again, unless a trade happens)

Domingue could be an interesting option but we can't fit his cap hit in ($1.15mil). Condon's pretty bad and we definitely can't fit his cap hit ($2.4mil).
